Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

"Record pointer, if you want to continue on the Grand Route, this thing is a necessity.

The situation on the Grand Route is completely different from that on the Four Seas. Here, relying solely on experience and so-called sea charts is useless..."

Krocas said slowly.

To put it simply, the hydrological and climatic conditions of the Grand Route are too changeable and complex, and it is easy for navigators to get lost if they only rely on nautical charts.

Fortunately, the magnetic fields between the islands are different, and these magnetic fields also connect the two islands. At this time, with the help of a recording pointer that can store and capture the magnetic field, it is easy to find the correct direction.

There are a total of seven routes in the first half of the Grand Line. The islands on each route are also different. They spread out from the Gemini Cape and finally converge in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"So where do we find the record pointer?"

Nami asked after listening to Crocus' introduction.

"Then I don't know. Didn't you prepare anything before you came? This thing should be sold everywhere, right?"

The record pointer is a must-have item, used by both pirates and merchant ships, so it must be sold in Sihai.

But ordinary people would definitely not be able to find such a merchant. Remos decided to go directly to Krocus, so he simply didn't think about it, and Nami was completely unaware of it.

It was definitely impossible to go back now, so Nami rolled her eyes.

"Uncle~~~"

She suddenly made a very coquettish sound.

Krocus shuddered.

"Just help us. We have finally come here. Can you bear to see us fail right after we set out?"

Nami stepped forward and grabbed Krocus' arm, shaking him back and forth, almost knocking over Krocus' sun lounger.

"Ahem, stop, stop shaking."

"You promised to help us?"

"..."

Krocas opened his mouth and finally sighed helplessly.

"Come in with me."

He stood up and walked into the lighthouse, Remos and Nami following immediately.

After entering the lighthouse, Krocus came to a wooden table, reached out and opened the drawer, revealing hundreds of record pointers inside.

"Wow, why so many? Huh? Uncle, why are you blushing?"

Nami exclaimed in mock surprise.

Crocus's old face was almost unbearable, and he cleared his throat.

"Pick one for yourself and I'll give it to you."

"Forget it, let's just buy it. Uncle, can you first tell us where these pointers are pointing, and by the way, help us consult which road is most suitable for us."

Nami decided to quit while she was ahead. She didn't plan to get the record pointer for free, so she agreed to pay for it, but she needed Krocus to provide additional information.

This time, Krocas did not hide anything and briefly introduced the seven different routes, including which islands were on each route, what these islands were like, what benefits they would bring to Remos and the others, and so on.

Anyway, he told everything he knew.

Remos didn't say a word the whole time, he just watched Nami and Krocus interact quietly from the side.

Of course he knew that Krocus would sell record pointers, it was a no-brainer.

After all, Krocus is a lighthouse keeper here, so he probably doesn't have much extra income. Apart from other things, he has to spend money on food and drinks, right? Where does the money come from? It still depends on selling record pointers.

Needless to say, those large caravans had already made preparations before entering the Grand Route.

Pirates are different.

Especially those young pirates who are just starting out and have little experience will definitely rush in without any preparation. At this time, after introducing the importance of the recording pointer, he can take advantage of the opportunity to make a deal.

With his strength, he doesn't have to worry about being robbed. The big pirates won't look down on this little money, and the small pirates can't beat him, it's that simple.

As for why it was given directly to Luffy in the original work? Remos guessed that it was probably related to Lab.

Besides, even if others don’t recognize Luffy’s hat, how could Krocus not recognize it?

So wouldn't it be reasonable to give some extra help?

Nami and Krocus whispered to each other for a long time, and finally she selected three recording pointers and placed them in front of Remos.

"Well, my good captain, you have been watching the show for so long without giving any advice. Now you make the choice, one of the three."

“The other routes were simply abandoned?”

Remus smiled and asked.

"Uncle said those routes are full of small pirates, I guess you don't think much of them. These routes are popular routes. The previous waves of pirates with some strength also took these three routes. If we move quickly, maybe we can catch up."

Nami explained.

Indeed, Remos entered the Grand Line in order to hunt down great pirates. Only in this way could he become stronger quickly. The small shrimps in the East China Sea alone were no longer enough to fill his teeth.

He was even too lazy to look for powerful pirates like Black Cat Rock and Clown Buggy, and simply left them to Luffy as monsters in the Novice Village.

"Then, choose this one."

Remos didn't ask where the three pointers pointed to. He just chose one of them based on his feeling.

"Okay, then this is it. Uncle, how much is this pointer?"

"Ahem, money or not..."

"Uncle, if you keep doing this, I will really change my mind!"

"Well, then one million will do..."

Krocas's eyes wandered, but in the end he was unable to completely give up this income.

Of course, Nami didn’t just buy a recording pointer, she also bought a matching permanent pointer.

"Wait, why did you buy a permanent pointer?"

Remus was dumbfounded when he heard this.

If the recording pointer can indicate the direction of travel, then the function of the permanent pointer is to point to a certain island, making it convenient for ships on the sea to travel on a fixed route.

The two have different functions and their prices are very different.

Even if the record pointer is purchased at the original price, a few million Baileys would be the maximum. However, the permanent pointer would cost tens of millions Baileys at the beginning.

"Of course it's to point the direction. Uncle said that the next stop of the pointer we chose is an island called Little Garden. The recording pointer has to stay there for a year before it can point to the next island, so we also need to buy a permanent pointer. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Nami obviously doesn't know the price of the permanent pointer yet.

After hearing what she said, Remos showed a stunned expression.

small garden?

The pointer that I just randomly selected is actually the route that Luffy took?

Remos could never have imagined that not only did he steal Luffy's navigator, but also that the direction of the Grand Line overlapped with that of the other party.

What kind of luck does it take to achieve these two achievements at the same time?
